2 Samuel 22:1-34

22:1

And David
<01732>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the LORD
<03068>

the words
<01697>

of this song
<07892>

in the day
<03117>

[that] the LORD
<03068>

had delivered
<05337> (8689)

him out of the hand
<03709>

of all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and out of the hand
<03709>

of Saul
<07586>_:

22:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

[is] my rock
<05553>_,

and my fortress
<04686>_,

and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;

22:3

The God
<0430>

of my rock
<06697>_;

in him will I trust
<02620> (8799)_:

[he is] my shield
<04043>_,

and the horn
<07161>

of my salvation
<03468>_,

my high tower
<04869>_,

and my refuge
<04498>_,

my saviour
<03467> (8688)_;

thou savest
<03467> (8686)

me from violence
<02555>_.

22:4

I will call
<07121> (8799)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

[who is] worthy to be praised
<01984> (8794)_:

so shall I be saved
<03467> (8735)

from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

22:5

When the waves
<04867>

of death
<04194>

compassed
<0661> (8804)

me, the floods
<05158>

of ungodly men
<01100>

made me afraid
<01204> (8762)_;

{waves: or, pangs} {ungodly...: Heb. Belial}

22:6

The sorrows
<02256>

of hell
<07585>

compassed me about
<05437> (8804)_;

the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>

prevented
<06923> (8765)

me; {sorrows: or, cords}

22:7

In my distress
<06862>

I called
<07121> (8799)

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)

to my God
<0430>_:

and he did hear
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>

out of his temple
<01964>_,

and my cry
<07775>

[did enter] into his ears
<0241>_.

22:8

Then the earth
<0776>

shook
<01607> (8691) (8675) <01607> (8799)

and trembled
<07493> (8799)_;

the foundations
<04146>

of heaven
<08064>

moved
<07264> (8799)

and shook
<01607> (8691)_,

because he was wroth
<02734> (8804)_.

22:9

There went up
<05927> (8804)

a smoke
<06227>

out of his nostrils
<0639>_,

and fire
<0784>

out of his mouth
<06310>

devoured
<0398> (8799)_:

coals
<01513>

were kindled
<01197> (8804)

by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}

22:10

He bowed
<05186> (8799)

the heavens
<08064>

also, and came down
<03381> (8799)_;

and darkness
<06205>

[was] under his feet
<07272>_.

22:11

And he rode
<07392> (8799)

upon a cherub
<03742>_,

and did fly
<05774> (8799)_:

and he was seen
<07200> (8735)

upon the wings
<03671>

of the wind
<07307>_.

22:12

And he made
<07896> (8799)

darkness
<02822>

pavilions
<05521>

round about
<05439>

him, dark
<02841>

waters
<04325>_,

[and] thick clouds
<05645>

of the skies
<07834>_.

{dark...: Heb. binding of waters}

22:13

Through the brightness
<05051>

before him were coals
<01513>

of fire
<0784>

kindled
<01197> (8804)_.

22:14

The LORD
<03068>

thundered
<07481> (8686)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and the most High
<05945>

uttered
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_.

22:15

And he sent out
<07971> (8799)

arrows
<02671>_,

and scattered
<06327> (8686)

them; lightning
<01300>_,

and discomfited
<02000> (8799)

them.

22:16

And the channels
<0650>

of the sea
<03220>

appeared
<07200> (8735)_,

the foundations
<04146>

of the world
<08398>

were discovered
<01540> (8735)_,

at the rebuking
<01606>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

at the blast
<05397>

of the breath
<07307>

of his nostrils
<0639>_.

22:17

He sent
<07971> (8799)

from above
<04791>_,

he took
<03947> (8799)

me; he drew
<04871> (8686)

me out of many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_;

{many: or, great}

22:18

He delivered
<05337> (8686)

me from my strong
<05794>

enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

[and] from them that hated
<08130> (8802)

me: for they were too strong
<0553> (8804)

for me.

22:19

They prevented
<06923> (8762)

me in the day
<03117>

of my calamity
<0343>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

was my stay
<04937>_.

22:20

He brought me forth
<03318> (8686)

also into a large place
<04800>_:

he delivered
<02502> (8762)

me, because he delighted
<02654> (8804)

in me.

22:21

The LORD
<03068>

rewarded
<01580> (8799)

me according to my righteousness
<06666>_:

according to the cleanness
<01252>

of my hands
<03027>

hath he recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me.

22:22

For I have kept
<08104> (8804)

the ways
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)

from my God
<0430>_.

22:23

For all his judgments
<04941>

[were] before me: and [as for] his statutes
<02708>_,

I did not depart
<05493> (8799)

from them.

22:24

I was also upright
<08549>

before him, and have kept
<08104> (8691)

myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.

{before: Heb. to}

22:25

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

hath recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me according to my righteousness
<06666>_;

according to my cleanness
<01252>

in his eye sight
<05048> <05869>_.

{in...: Heb. before his eyes}

22:26

With the merciful
<02623>

thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_,

[and] with the upright
<08549>

man
<01368>

thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_.

22:27

With the pure
<01305> (8737)

thou wilt shew thyself pure
<01305> (8691)_;

and with the froward
<06141>

thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury
<06617> (8691)_.

{shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle}

22:28

And the afflicted
<06041>

people
<05971>

thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)_:

but thine eyes
<05869>

[are] upon the haughty
<07311> (8802)_,

[that] thou mayest bring [them] down
<08213> (8686)_.

22:29

For thou [art] my lamp
<05216>_,

O LORD
<03068>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

will lighten
<05050> (8686)

my darkness
<02822>_.

{lamp: or, candle}

22:30

For by thee I have run
<07323> (8799)

through a troop
<01416>_:

by my God
<0430>

have I leaped over
<01801> (8762)

a wall
<07791>_.

{run: or, broken}

22:31

[As for] God
<0410>_,

his way
<01870>

[is] perfect
<08549>_;

the word
<0565>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] tried
<06884> (8803)_:

he [is] a buckler
<04043>

to all them that trust
<02620> (8802)

in him. {tried: or, refined}

22:32

For who [is] God
<0410>_,

save
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>_?

and who [is] a rock
<06697>_,

save
<01107>

our God
<0430>_?

22:33

God
<0410>

[is] my strength
<04581>

[and] power
<02428>_:

and he maketh
<05425> (8686)

my way
<01870>

perfect
<08549>_.

{maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth}

22:34

He maketh
<07737> (0)

my feet
<07272>

like
<07737> (8764)

hinds
<0355>_'

[feet]: and setteth
<05975> (8686)

me upon my high places
<01116>_.

{maketh: Heb. equalleth}
